Mine is Jadis aka Fragrant Memory. lovely color, gorgeous buds, and great fragrance. Mine was always one of the first to bloom and would bloom until December.

Not my favorite because not fragrant, but my best pure pink would be Savoy Hotel--very winter hardy and vigorous, great producer of long-stemmed, well-formed flowers that keep well.

Frederick Mistral is an excellent, very fragrant rose though twice the size of a normal HT plant. In September it goes veggie and doesn't bloom much thereafter.

I agree with countrygirl that Jadis is a good one that never got as much play as it deserves. I found it somewhat resistant to blackspot.

If a hint of peach is allowable, Mother of Pearl would be my top pick.

"No hint of any other color" throws out my pick: Tiffany.

Meredith is such a beautiful clear porcelain pink with an intense honeysuckle fragrance.

Memorial Day is a pink/lavender but it's my favorite, the fragrance is marvelous.

Pink Peace has a real nice color, fragrance, and its blooms last pretty long too.

Maybe we can bend the rules! Tiffany is one of my favorites too! Mother of Pearl looks like a great rose! I was thinking of just pink though! Pink Peace is a favorite too, there are so many great ones. I also love learning about the ones I don't have.

Thanks for this topic Sara Ann. My husband asked for an all pink section next year, probably 12 - 14 roses. Since he requested I will gladly oblige. Now to just decide on which pinks. I will anxiously await all the answers to this post.

Does it have to be an HT? Quietness is a gorgeous pink rose.

Beth, that's exciting! That's the kind of task I would look forward to. Seil, i guess it doesn't have to be a hybrid tea, after all there are so many good pinks, Quietness being one which is lovely! I was thinking too, my rules excluded Belinda's Dream, a really good pink. So I guess the rules now are, it just has to be pink!

Wow Pat those look wonderful!

Wow I love both of those. Gone to check out Sweet Surrender. Judy

The HT Brinessa tops all my pinks. But then there's the OGR, Pink Pet, which will always have a place in my garden.

I like Miss All American Beauty, it's so fragrant! I just love the scent.

Ken. Brinessa is a beautiful rose, can't believe I missed that one! Summers rhythm, MAAB is a great rose too. Queen Elizabeth is a very good pink grandiflora! There are so many good ones!

Not hybrid teas, my favorites would be as follows;

Light Pink

Brother Cadfael

Medium Pink

Princess Alexandra of Kent

I'm partial to Old Fragrance. It lives up to it's name.

Ok, if I follow the rules and have to list hybrid teas, my dark pink is pink peace and soft light pink is Brides dream, but if I get to break the rules it is either Quietness or Sharifa Asman both which are not only beautiful to look at, but smell great.

Thank you for posting your question.

My favorite hybrid tea is the first hybrid tea of all, La France, for the beauty of the blooms and its fragrance. My second favorite pink is Potter and Moore, one of the old Austins, for its lovely cupped blooms and pure pink coloring. If I had to add a third, it would be Yves Piaget, with its huge and sumptuous, ruffled blooms that really command attention.

La France

Potter and Moore

Yves Piaget

Those are all lovely! Thanks everyone. Ingrid, I love your pinks and even though this is my first year with La France, it's becoming a favorite. Yves Piaget is gorgeous! Mustbnuts, your roses are lovely. Jim, I need to find out more about Old Fragrance, I'm sure I would love it.

Since I changed the rules, one of my all time favorite pinks is Mme Isaac Pereire, I love this rose!

MIP is a beauty in your garden, Sara-Ann. I'm a great lover of lilac-pink roses, although your Madame would hate my conditions. Despite her reputation, yours seems almost disease-free. It's obviously the right rose in the right place. I'm glad you like La France also; it will get bigger and better as it matures.

I'll have this one.... I think this is 'Constance Spry'... from the David Austin Rose Gallery...

I'm sorry, this isn't my own garden obviously..... I wish....

At first I thought this gorgeous photo was of the "rose wall (or fence)" at Santa Clara University, which features a half mile long fence covered in climbing roses, antique to modern, on the University campus in the old part of Santa Clara, California. But I think Marlorena's photo is of a rose wall in Emeryville, California. I know very little about this wall, but maybe someone else can tell us about it.

Santa Clara University is a gorgeous campus, apparently the oldest college in California. If I ever get back to my old stomping grounds in that area, I'm visiting this fence, as well as the rose gardens in San Jose. What an opportunity I missed many years ago, but I didn't give a hoot about gardening when I was in college. I don't think the fence existed that long ago, though (prehistoric times--ha). Diane

Thanks Ingrid. Marlorena, that's a beautiful picture, I totally agree with Diane!

..I was totally dumbstruck when I saw it, just had to share... and I don't have any hybrid teas right now...

..my first thought was Italy, no idea why, so Diane's thoughts on this are very interesting..thanks... I think it looks too pristine for Europe..

That wonderful shot of Constance Spry on the fence is at Pixar's Studios I believe. Apparently Steve Jobs chose them. One of my favourite rose photographs!

That's it! But it's Apple Computer and Jobs, who was then alive, who picked them. Does this wall still exist now that others are in charge of Apple?

Check out the Santa Clara U rose fence (just Google it). The roses came from the San Jose Heritage Garden to start with, and our own Jeri Jennings had something to do with it. She has a photo on HMF of one of the roses on the fence. The whole history of the fence was fascinating reading.

Jeri, I hope you see this and chime in with more info. Diane

The Constance Spry wall of roses would be in Cupertino, California, I think, if it still exists. Diane

I think it's Park Ave, Emeryville where the Constance Spry roses are. I'm pretty sure they are still there, as there are some fairly recent photos on Flickr. I would love to visit!

Yes, it's Pixar--I got that garbled. Unfortunately, I just read when doing a little research, that the wall of Constance spry roses is no longer in existance due to Pixar's expansion. How could they destroy such beauty? Truly disappointing to me. Diane

One of my favorites is...

THE MCCARTNEY ROSE - Beautiful pure pink with lovely form, good repeat and a wonderful fragrance.

Oh no! So sad about the Constance Spry wall. Yes, very disappointing - I guess I won't be visiting :(

Man, these are fantastic blooms!!!!! Sooooo pretty!!

Here's some pinks that I have

Chicago Peace (probably my favorite pink, and I love pink)

Jadis (always in bloom, and the fragrance is wonderful)

Memorial Day is sooooo fragrant, and one of my favorites.

Peter Mayle is fantastic. The blooms last forever, and the fragrance is incredible. It's a very visible rose in the yard. Quite a big rose too - both in bloom size and plant size.

Big Purple - lovely fragrance, blooms all the time, but not prolifically. Looks like there's a tiny stripe. Hmmm.

Acapella - I love the banana candy smell. Wow!!

Gemini in it's more pink phase. Love this rose.

I absolutely love, love this thread. Your blooms are all amazing!!!!

Carol

Beth, I like The McCartney Rose too, it's a good one. Carol, you have some great roses there! I'm going to try to get another Jadis, and I'm definitely going to get a Gemini for next season.

When they're in bloom they are all my favorites! Don't think I missed any that I currently have.

How could I have missed Pink Peace!!! I love Pink Peace!!

Wow, Sara-Ann, those are beautiful pictures. I especially like your Memorial Day and Pink Peace. Delicious!!

Carol

Noone has mentioned Elle yet. Superior fragrance, nice rebloom, mannerly growth, and its light/medium pink.

Carol, I love your Pink Peace! Ameri, I don't have Elle and I would agree it is a beautiful rose, I'm sure several members have it, it seems to be a favorite, thanks for mentioning it.

Two more......Vick's Caprice and La Reines.

I just ordered a miniature with hybrid tea like blooms called Heather Sproul from Heirloom Roses. I'm hoping she will be a favorite.

I had Elle. I got rid of it. It just didn't like it in the pot, I think.

Carol

Heather Sproul looks pretty, I'm hoping the Scent-sation I ordered does well in the heat. It's a peachy pink.
